The disabled just staying home when they cannot mask up

I have breathing problems and a hidden disability.
I am being banned from discussing the subject here and infracted a number of times.

Here is what is happing with me and many others with hidden disabilities.

We are staying home the stress of being challenged is not worth it.

I put up a bit of bravado here but in all honesty I feel trapped at home.

I like many others CANNOT wear a face covering it is not a case of not wanting to wear such.
Since mask became mandatory I have not been on public transport or in a taxi.

I have stated here the rules on exemptions but the 100% honest truth is that I am too timid in person to push them instead I stay home a lot.

I have one local supermarket that knows my situation but even then more than half the time I avoid doing the weekly shop and let somebody else do it just to avoid the hassle and the stares.

There are people who cannot wear a face covering and there is a lawful mask exemption but I don't feel at ease using it.

There is the online world and there is the real world.

If my posts have come off in the wrong way I apologise but the reality is a lot of people who are covered with exemptions will not use them and instead just hide in their houses.

I am not trolling and while I might feel ok speaking back to people here in person I am not anything like that.

I don't really care that much about myself but there are others and I know some of them who are just trapped in their homes afraid to go out incase they are confronted or face abuse.

I don't doubt there are people who abuse the exemption rules but there are also genuine people who are too nervous to use the exemption.

When I post here I try to adopt a persona as I don't want to get too personal.
Saying how I would act in public when confronted is something that runs through my thoughts but not something that I could do in reality.

I like many others pose very little danger to others as our group of close contacts is very small.

Any thread I have posted in has been hypothetical and the real reason for my anger with the whole masks subject is I feel trapped at home and I am not the only one.

I cannot wear a mask and rather than face confrontation or hassle I just stay home.

Many people that are genuinely exempt from wearing a face covering are not faking it.
Is staying at home and avoiding everywhere part of the faking too?

In the past few weeks, Paul Feeley has been abused four times for not wearing a mask on public transport. “I have a disability lanyard, which signifies I have a hidden disability. I tried to show it … And all I got back was a complete torrent of abuse.”

The most recent incident took place just after he first spoke to the Observer on Thursday. The abuse has made Feeley, who suffers from fibromyalgia, borderline personality disorder and panic attacks, feel “extraordinarily angry, anxious and upset”. He is unable to wear a face covering due to his medical conditions, and legally he is exempt – but he is now worried about travelling on buses and trams in his home town of Manchester. “One man said to me, ‘If you can’t wear a mask, you shouldn’t be allowed out.’”

Incidents of “mask rage” are making disabled people who are unable to wear a covering fearful of going out in public, charities warn, as they call on the government today to raise awareness about the legitimate reasons many people cannot wear them.

Shirley Anne Somerville, secretary for social security and older people said: “Everyone who can do so is legally obliged to wear a face covering where it is mandated by law. But there are some people who cannot, due to health conditions, disabilities or other special circumstances where a face covering may cause difficulty or distress.

“Discrimination against people in this situation is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
